brink,
I'm certainly looking forward to visiting Canada but I must say here in the US there are plenty of cities with friendly folks. I just got back from 5 days in NYC and they couldn't have been nicer and I travel to Baltimore every few weeks to the football stadium and it's a very friendly place. San Francisco is pretty sweet. I could go on but you get my point. Of course, I do prefer my home in the woods, LOL.

Guess I should have clarified a bit better. I mean here as in the area I live in. Summit County, only exists because of tourism, but the locals "despise" tourists. Lines are too long, traffic is too slow, tourists are referred to as: tourons, rubber neckers etc. Tourists are also blamed for the high prices.
I am not a fan of Denver either. Last year Denver ranked in the top ten of cities with the rudest people. That was nationally.
So excuse my lack of clarification.
